Can't install software from Mandrake 8.1 cds

[Phyll]

Hello again. :P

Ok. I want to use Bastille to have extra hard security for when I do some major damage(NO! Not h4x0r463!). But when I go to software manager in the configuration menu and try to install it. It points to /dev/cdrom which points to /cdrom/cdrom0 which isn't my cdrom! :eek:
So when I put the 1st installation disk to install it it says, "Put the installation disk 1 x86 disk in the device /dev/cdrom." And it does it repetitively. So is there a way to change it or so? And also when I tried to install it, I need perl-tk and all of that. I go to the shell terminal. And I try to install the perl-tk from there and it said I that I needed some lib.so.1 or something. I tried to find it from the software manager and came to no prevail. I even tried to d/l the device /dev/cdrom and try to hard-link it to /dev/hdc. Help me please! :eek: :p :eek: :p :( :confused:

^--Mixed emotion. :D

P.S- This all happens in the Xwindows KDE or Gnome. Forget.

WM/Desktop matters not. What matters is the method. ;)

Let me guess. You have 2 CD drives. If yes, remove the slave. Boot it up.

If that doesn't work, no sweat. You could copy the entire content of the CD to like /home/yourname/cd1 etc. And point it to there in Installer.

In your /etc/fstab file, what does the entry for the CD-ROM look like?

As for lib.so.1, you probably need to install teh development packages.

Where is the CD-rom located? Mount it and check /mnt and see where it mounts to. Then open up software manager and click on define sources. In there select the CD and choose edit. Change the mount point to the correct one and BAM! install away! Do the same for cd2 and cd3 if you have it. Good luck
